When you have a defense that is so optimized that the absence of a couple of players cause it to start to fall apart then maybe the defense is poorly designed.

That is been my contention for years. Our defense as LeBeau wants to play it has become unsustainable because we cannot replace the talent because the "conversions" he requires are too hit or miss. I loved this defense 5-6 years ago but anyone who wanted to see it could see the cracks and holes developing a couple of years ago.

I hear you Oviedo. You've been pretty spot on with those criticisms these last few years.
